Low Voltage Testing

The EnergyLINK low voltage (LV) laboratory is a custom built facility designed to undertake research and development addressing the issues associated with how power generators interact with networks. It includes a range of model-generation technologies, linked to our fully controlled electrical grid network allowing voltage, frequency and loads and network parameters to be configured to fully test network connection issues.

Services include G83 testing for small scale embedded generation and electrical testing for large components, such as aeroplane nose cones.

Our fully controlled network elements include a range of inter-connectable items including:

• Microgeneration including roof mounted PV cells, and micro-wind turbines
• Tap-change transformer emulation
• A hydrogen fuel cell
• Line or cable emulation including fault thrower
• A flexible busbar layout with six bus sections
• Range of generators and motors
• Range of loads including resistive, inductive and switched mode PSU
• Energy storage flywheels
• Thermal loads
